Trigger a macro with another key

Post by HeavenNHell

I dont know much about using macros and idk if what I wanna do is possible but here it is...

I made a macro -> #showtooltip/cast Backstab; Dismantle/startattack

the thing is when i press my key thats bound where my macro is, it triggers my backstab, thats alright, but when i press shift, it shows dismantle correctly but when i when press my key thats bound where my macro is, it still triggers backstab and not dismantle and the only way i can trigger dismantle is by clicking on it with my mouse while i want to press my key to trigger it.

thx for help

try that macro, if it doesnt work, check keybind menu to see if your button+shift is being used on anything else, if its being used for something else then your macro wont work.

#showtooltip/use Dismantle/use Backstab/startattack

With Mike's macro, you could use Shift or Alt. Personally I prefer using Alt because I tend to have issues like the one you described when using Shift. It seems like some default behavior is built in using Shift, so having that as a modifier can get tricky.

Forever the minimalist.

Dude back in the olden days we always got into competitions with that kind of thing... God I remember the days of shortening mount macros.

I will never stoop to /use-ing a spell or /cast-ing an item :).
